Linkshell Event Stuff
Here it is, the promised blog entry, after we either get the Dungeon down, or if there is any other reason to make a blog entry again and this one fulfills both reasons! O.o
As you can see on the screenshot, the dungeon is clear(Batraal First Kill as of 27th July 11:57PM EST)
So…
Clear the R50 Dungeon among the first on the server: Check
So we were able to keep that promise so far. Let's see if we can keep this pace with 1.19 and the Ifrit Prime Battle, but I'm confident we will ;)
As for the second reason to post a new blog entry, I will get to that at the end of the post!
Garlean Super Awesome Judge approves.
Patch 1.18 really was the first milestone for FFXIV. We got the Grand Companies which already promise to give us a worthwhile experience about the story in Eorzea and the invasion of the Garlean Empire.
We got our first 2 instanced dungeons, which both are very fun and challenging. Of course, after clearing them several times it gets repetitive and "boring", but that's how it is in all MMORPGs and since all FFXIV players who are still playing are on the ball with content, there will prolly never be enough content for a while, but this is a reason to look in the future with hope at least!
And last but not least, we got the new battle system. Some may find it slow and boring, I for myself prefer this over hitting a standard attack for no other reason then getting TP. Overall the battle system changes and the changes to abilitites and skills made battle more challenging and challenge=fun to me! But this is once again, for everybody themself to decide.
R50 Dungeon Drops
As we cleared the dungeon a few times by now, this is what we got for our LS members.
We're gonna skip regular NM Loot and Leve NM Loot now, since there is no real reason to get them anymore and if we do, nobody cares xD And the List is long enough as it is^^
So now to the part I mentioned before, the second reason for this blog post. We decided to split our LS into the social and the endgame aspect of the game. The social LS still being "The Final Venture", while the endgame LS is gonna be "Final Venture".
That way it's easier for us to distinguish applicants and to set seperate requirements for applying. While the requirements for applying for the social shell pretty much stays the same, it's gonna be more tight for the endgame shell, as you need to be able to participate in endgame and be willing to. Especially for endgame members we are looking for well ranked(at least 1 R50 Battle class), well mannered and awesome people who want to do endgame with a laid back group, who get's stuff done.
Plus I encourage ANYBODY who is wanting to apply, to take your time on the application and put in some effort. It's our first impression we will get from you, so if you want to be part of us, give us a reason to accept you as a member.
Apart from that…we are all looking forward to 1.19 already^^ Materia, Chocobos, Airship and of course the Ifrit Prime Battle. Just like with the R50 dungeon, expect us to go in there right away and be among the first to extinguish the flames of hell^^
With that said, see you on the next blog post(hopefully sooner than later)
